As the Deputy will be aware the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is responsible for processing applications for special educational needs supports. My officials have been advised by the NCSE that special needs assistant support for the pupil in question has not been withdrawn. I understand that the local SENO will contact the school to clarify the position.
